    Why in the world wouldn't you enter the message to me? Huh?
I know many good horse people. This has become absolutely ridiculous.
   This entire thread began by me asking if anyone in the Windsor London 
corridor had a filly for sale. From that it has gone on and one, lectures, 
but mostly nonsense. I have never been more insulted by a lack of welcome in 
ANY echo I have participated in over the past 6 years. It has become very 
CLEAR this is a CLOSED echo, and anyone who doesn't follow a certain brand of 
"horse advise" isn't welcome here. I won't be posting in here anymore. It 
isn't any wonder what has happened to net mail if this is any example of just 
"some" of what is happening out there.....sheeees!
PS> realize that a horse is nOt like a dog.  Similar, yes, but...
PS> They do not take training in the same way.  Perhaps if you think
  GO BACK, and read that comment again, in which I very CLEARLY stated that 
wasn't a fair comparison, but just a general one. However, you seemed to have 
missed that entirely. I KNOW horses are flighty, and easily upset. I also 
know many good folks who have had horses for many many years. However, not 
ONE of them has said one discouraging word to me. In fact, books have been 
recommended, and advise offered. The response here however, aside from Vicki 
has been a complete shock to me. I am severely disapointed. 
  As well P Spence, the next time you want to message to me, ADDRESS the 
bloody thing to me.
                             Much Much Later,
                               Jim Walsh.
